The British Museum is one of the world's oldest and largest comprehensive museums, and one of the four most famous and largest museums in the world. It is well worth a visit.
The value for money is excellent. Although the museum is free, reservations are required, and there are often capacity limits for those without. Booking a Chinese-speaking guided tour is very convenient. Today's guide, Ms. Zhang Hong, was incredibly knowledgeable, provided a wealth of information, and spoke quickly and clearly. Booking a guided tour is essential for museums, as the British Museum and the National Gallery have such vast collections that even a 3-hour tour only covers their most prized possessions or a small portion of their highlights. Thank you for opening a window to this world!
We were so lucky to have Diana as our tour guide! A good guide has their own understanding of the artifacts and can expand on them with a lot of interesting facts. Diana was very passionate about her work, and her explanations were relaxed and engaging. I hope everyone can have a similar experience when visiting museums—a truly wonderful tour!
An in-depth visit to the British Museum is essential when going to London, and you should leave enough time for a whole day. The British Museum often has special exhibitions, such as the Late Qing Dynasty China Special Exhibition in 2023 and the Silk Road Special Exhibition in 2024. The main building of the British Museum is free to visit, but special exhibitions are generally charged separately, and the number of tickets is limited. It is recommended to book special exhibition tickets in advance through the museum's official website. If you buy a special exhibition ticket, you can enter the museum from the special exhibition entrance without queuing from the main building. The British Museum is very large, and it is unlikely to visit all the exhibition halls in one day, so it is recommended to make a strategy in advance, determine the tour route in advance, or ask a tour guide to take a tour and explain.
Sister Diana's explanation was wonderful, and the route she designed was clear and purposeful. Three hours passed unknowingly, and I still felt unsatisfied. I will recommend friends and colleagues to come here in the future👍👍👍 I also wish that everyone will be like what the British poet laureate Tennyson said in his poem: "and let thy feet millenniums hence be set in midst of knowledge." "May you stay here for a thousand years and wander in the temple of knowledge"
There are many collections, several floors. It takes a day to visit. It feels very shocking. There are many collections, several floors. It takes a day to visit. It feels very shocking. There are many collections, several floors. It takes a day to visit. It feels very shocking.
If you only go to a museum once in your life, it must be the British Museum, which has over 8 million collections, which is the sum of the Forbidden City, the Winter Palace, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of New York. On the floor of the hall is engraved a poem by Tennyson: May you wander in this ocean of knowledge for a thousand years...
Free attractions, the exhibits are different from the Louvre's paintings and Greek sculptures. The British Museum's exhibits are mainly Egyptian mummies, which are a highlight. The number is amazing. It also exhibits from various countries. For example, the giants of Easter Island in Chile and the sculptures on Greek temples are impressive. There are not many exhibits in the Chinese Pavilion, but Tang Bohu's paintings impressed me. They are really beautiful. It is said that more good exhibits are not on display. If you are tired of visiting, you can buy hot dogs, hot chocolate and hot coffee at the entrance of the museum. Are there a few pigeons walking around at the entrance of the museum?
